Chapter 350 Xue Fang Conspiracy
"Everyone! Jinyiwei sent a secret letter." Wang Quan whispered in Li Chengqian's ear.
"What did it say?" Li Chengqian asked, he knew that if there was no important matter, Jinyiwei would not send a secret letter.
"The letter said that Futu Zhixu and several others served Princess Gaoyang privately, and the princess asked the palace eunuch Chen Xuanyun to spy on the palace and pray for the gods and ghosts to bring good or bad luck."
"The son-in-law, the commander Fang Yiai, and the governor of Weizhou, Chai Lingwu, and the governor of Ningzhou, Xue Wanche, who was demoted to the north for crimes, secretly contacted each other." "
It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Wu is also involved, and Prince Jing Li Yuanjing is also secretly colluding with Fang Yiai and others, with evil intentions." Wang Quan said.
The so-called Buddha actually refers to monks. From this point of view, how decadent Princess Gaoyang's private life is.
"Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on Prince Wu and others?" Wang Quan asked when he saw Li Chengqian didn't say anything.
"Prince Wu Li Ke, I trust him! Fang Yiai and others have probably been dissatisfied with me for a long time. You ask the Jinyiwei to pay close attention to the movements of Fang Yiai and others, especially Li Yuanjing." Li Chengqian said.
"I will go and pass the message!" Wang Quan said, and then left.
Fang Yiai and others were mostly demoted because of mistakes, and they thought they had the ability to govern the country.
But not only were they not reused, but they were also neglected and demoted. Fang Yiai and others were even more dissatisfied with the court.
Among them, Xue Wanche was the most unwilling. He had made great contributions to the elimination of Hou Junji. If he had not changed sides on the battlefield, Li Chengqian would not have been able to smoothly take the position of the crown prince and become the current emperor!
Xue Wanche felt that he had only made a small mistake, but Li Chengqian made a fuss about him and demoted him to the governor of Ningzhou, completely disregarding their past friendship.
Therefore, Xue Wanche resented the court even more, not to mention his hatred for Li Chengqian.
On the other hand, Xue Wanche came to Fang Yaoai's mansion, and the two of them drank and talked happily. At first, they just found some topics to talk about.
But somehow, they talked about the court, and they drank a lot of wine and were already a little drunk.
After Xue Wanche complained for a while, he said to Fang Yiai, "Now that I have problems with my legs and feet, and I sit in the capital, the cowards dare not act rashly."
Fang Yiai said, "That's right. In this world, except King Jiangxia Li Daozon, who can be your opponent?"
"Although you and I have the ability to govern the country and maintain its security, no one appreciates it. Li Chengqian is even more blind. Alas! I won't say more."
The two of them shared the same suffering and had a feeling of mutual appreciation. Thinking of the sad things, they hugged their heads and cried, and their resentment towards the court deepened.
After drinking another glass of wine, Xue Wanche said to Fang Yiai: "If there is any change in the court, you and I should support the prime minister, Prince Jing Li Yuanjing as the leader."
"Brother Xue is right, I also have the same idea! Come! Drink this cup, today, brother Xue and I will not go home until we are drunk." Fang Yiai said.
Xue Wanche's words touched Fang Yiai's heart. While filling Xue Wanche's glass with wine, she planned how to overthrow Li Chengqian's rule in the future and support Li Yuanjing to ascend the throne.
Prince Jing Li Yuanjing was the father-in-law of Fang Yiai's younger brother Fang Yize, so Fang Yiai naturally had close contacts with the two sides because of this relationship.
Once, Li Yuanjing dreamed that he held the sun and the moon, so he asked a fortune teller to interpret his dream.
The fortune teller, a charlatan, would not tell him that his dream was nothing but an ordinary dream.
But the charlatan was very good at observing people's expressions. When he saw that Li Yuanjing had some intention, he lied to him that he had a destiny and would definitely become the emperor in the future.
He bowed down and shouted "Long live the emperor". For the charlatan who had been hanging around in the streets for many years, kneeling down to others was just a common thing.
But the charlatan was good at talking. With just a few words, he made Li Yuanjing so proud that he really thought he could become the emperor.
Later, when Li Yuanjing was communicating with Fang Yiai, he told Fang Yiai about this matter, hoping that Fang Yiai could help him find some "knowledgeable people" to help him accomplish his great cause.
He also promised that when the matter was accomplished in the future, he would never let Fang Yiai down, and as long as he could help him become emperor, he would appoint him as prime minister.
"Brother Xue can contact old relatives and friends in Beijing, and I will contact Chai Lingwu and others to start an uprising together, and we will swear an oath of blood." Fang Yiai said.
"Okay!" Xue Wanche agreed without hesitation and said, "How do you plan to contact Chai Lingwu? He is far away in Weizhou. If we exchange letters, I am worried that things will be exposed."
"Brother Xue, don't worry! Chai Lingwu has already arrived in the capital. I just need to visit him at home. It will definitely not attract
anyone's attention." Fang Yiai smiled. Everyone knows that Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu have a deep personal relationship and they were both members of Li Tai's party. It is normal for him to visit Chai Lingwu's house, have a meal and chat. No one will suspect it at all.
He can secretly collude with Chai Lingwu when visiting and plot to support Li Yuanjing as emperor.
"That's good! But how long can Chai Lingwu stay in the capital? If he returns to Weizhou soon, it will be inconvenient to contact him." Xue Wanche said.
"This time, Chai Lingwu asked to stay in Chang'an to seek medical treatment for Princess Baling because she is ill. How can he go back so easily?" Fang Yiai laughed.
"So that's it! Princess Baling's illness is really the right time." Xue Wanche laughed. In this way, their plan was half successful.
"Doesn't this show that this is God's will? God has chosen King Jing to be the new emperor, so that our plan can go so smoothly." Fang Yiai said.
"Well said! Come on! Wish us success!" Xue Wanche raised his glass and clinked glasses with Fang Yiai.
After the two of them had a good meal and a good drink, Xue Wanche discussed with Fang Yuai in a quiet place, and then left Fang's house with satisfaction.
Xue Wanche wanted to contact his former subordinates as soon as possible. It was impossible to start a rebellion without manpower and weapons. Now the only ones who could help him were his former subordinates.
Xue Wanche quickly found his former subordinates and explained his purpose to them. They all expressed that they were willing to follow Xue Wanche and that they would find ways to get weapons.
After Xue Wanche got what he wanted, he left and returned to the mansion. Before leaving, they agreed on when to start the rebellion.
As soon as Xue Wanche left, someone quietly went to inform Li Chengqian.
On the other hand, Fang Yiai went to Chai Mansion on the pretext of visiting Princess Baling, and secretly discussed with Chai Lingwu how to overthrow Li Chengqian and support Prince Jing Li Yuanjing as emperor.
Chai Lingwu suggested that Fang Yiai let Prince Jing come to Chang'an as soon as possible. After all, Prince Jing Li Yuanjing was the protagonist. If their rebellion succeeded, they could immediately enthrone Li Yuanjing as emperor to avoid any unexpected events.
